<h1>Combining different types of text fields in documents </h1>
<p>You can combine any number of static text entries, data fields, and 
 auto text codes in a single text field. The document renders any auto 
 text codes and data fields according to the dataset and document details 
 and combines it with the static text in the field. </p>
<p>For example, if you type <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Date/time:</B></span> 
 in a text field, then insert the Date and Time auto text code into the 
 same field, the final text field looks like <span class=Code>Date/time: 
 {&amp;DATETIME}</span>. The document displays the results as: <span class=Code>Date/time: 
 11/15/2007 07:15:00 PM</span></p>
<p>When different types of text are combined in one text field, each type 
 can have its own formatting and properties. For example, you can bold 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Date/time:</B></span> but keep the actual 
 date and time in non-bold text. </p>
